I see but tomsfastmath isn't that much better, is it? Its last release is more recent however. The git tree of of tommath [0] has a few changes from a fow months ago. Anyway. I found a document [1] which explains the difference to tommath: |Compared to LibTomMath this new library is meant to be much faster while |sacrificing flexibiltiy so it supposed to do the same thing but a little faster. Sounds like something for everyone. Would it make a candidate for packaging then?
